PSA 6:5 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

זִכְרֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: turn, YHWH deliver, life_of,my save,me because_of steadfast_love_of,your )

Here, remembrance represents praise or honor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “praise of you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין בַּ⁠מָּ֣וֶת זִכְרֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: turn, YHWH deliver, life_of,my save,me because_of steadfast_love_of,your )

בִּ֝⁠שְׁא֗וֹל מִ֣י יֽוֹדֶה־לָּֽ⁠ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: turn, YHWH deliver, life_of,my save,me because_of steadfast_love_of,your )

David uses this question to emphasize that no one in Sheol thanks God. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No one in Sheol will give you thanks!” or “The dead cannot praise you!”
